The Hear Technologies ADAT Card allows HB PRO Hub to communicate with audio equipment via ADAT protocol. It provides an industry standard method for sending and receiving 16 channels of digital audio.
The Hear Technologies ADAT Card also offers backwards compatibility with the original 8-channel Hear Back system. The ADAT protocol is a well established standard in the professional audio industry. ADAT uses the same physical TOS-Link optical connection that standard CD, DVD and Blu-ray players use. Although ADAT uses the same fiber optic cables and connectors as these standard consumer electronics devices, the ADAT audio format is different and incompatible. With ADAT, one single optical cable carries 8 channels of digital audio along with the digital synchronizing “clock” in one direction and can support sampling rates up to 48kHz. The Hear Technologies ADAT Card can be populated in Hear Back PRO Hub’s card slot 1 or card slot 3. If the card is in slot 1, it will input ADAT when the input select switch on the front of the hub is selected to “A.” Likewise, if the card is in slot 3, it will input ADAT when the input select switch is selected to “B.” Do not populate the Hear Technologies ADAT Card in slots 2 or 4. These slots are reserved for analog input cards, analog output cards, and mixer network cards.
